printer is, BUT only with black and blue, all other diagnoses print with all colors

Initially, the installation of the printer REFUSED to align, took 7 attempts (OK, I've heard of Einstein quote!). Whenever I used the printer to ALIGNER PRINTER screen - the process has failed. So I looked on the web, and:

Clean the cartridges,

Erased the vents

Removed and cleaned the print head

Prayed

Tried again

To nothing not done, so I tried to make the diagnosis via PC software and here deepened the mystery.

When the HP Photosmart B210 series Toolbox running I got three different results between the three print options

A Diagnostics Page of print quality gave me five Ba's maximum color printing

Align the print heads gave me the black and blue boxes/lies/grids and the message alignment successful

The print Diagnostic information gave me all four colors with a lot of useful info, including the print head 73 calibration trust level: 0

Ideas anyone, before I bin it and buy a Kodak or disgusted Epson

What exactly is the problem?  Alignment aligns the print head color to the black print head, and black and one color (cyan for your printer) are required for this.  (There is probably an extra set of blocks that prints gray blocks fade to white.  This section is used to calibrate the energy for the colors).  The other test pages that you printed will be print various diagnoses or test pages that will use all colors.

A successful alignment page requires the page be printed on white paper not used and requires that the cyan and black sections print correctly.

    Dear all,

    I have a problem with my Printer 3050 Deskjet. (USB connected with my laptop).

    My printer does not print documents colors in color, but only in black and white (with the exception of JPGs (photographs) which are printed in color.

    Word or PDF documents (for example) are always printed in black and white - even if they are in color.

    Copy of pages in color on my printer is not a problem.

    This works perfectly well. The printer is connected to my PC via USB.

    Cartridges (color and black and white) are practically new and original HP cartridges.

    Could the problem be associated I could have changed by accident print settings.

    Thanks in advance for your advice.

  • Printer does not print in black and blue

    Product: HP Photosmart C3180 all-in-One

    OPERATING SYSTEM: OS X 10.4.11

    no error message

    no change in advance

    My C3180 All in we decided to print only in black and blue a few months ago.  First I thought that it a bad cartridge, but it took a lot of time to exhaust.  The next color cartridge-same thing.  Next same thing (a new HP) cartridge.  No cleaning, uninstall/reinstall or any what other thing was forced to print what either other than black and blue.  Printer has been great for three years until now.

    Next step... skeet shooting?

    Thank you, Don

    Hi Julie,.

    YAY! So happy that it worked. You may mark this as resolved?

    You could have gotten a replacement of the genuine HP cartridge if it was under warranty:

    Don't forget to make use of it, if you have a worse (not need different discipline).

  • only of black and white prints

    My sisters new want 5660 printer prints only in black and white.

    I have been all over the net and my iMac to try to understand what is the problem, but nothing helped.

    I looked for the paper type / quality etc settings that were solutions to other problems, but these options are not on my computer.  I passed through all the menus on the printer and many of my programs in an attempt to change a few settings that is saying is not in color, this printer.  I opened the printer settings and the settings of my computer and nothing gave me the possibility to print in color or black and white.

    what the devil?

    the closest solution to you, that I could find was that someone uninstalled and reinstalled the printer and it helped for a while, until she had to repeat the same thing.  that cannot be a workable solution, and my first guess would be that there is a problem with the printer.

    However, if there is something that I am on, can you please let me know?  I'm annoyed at the moment and it's not yet my printer...

    Hello @jammypie,

    The reason why the HP ENVY 5660 e-all-in-one printer is not printing correctly from your Mac OS X 10.6.8 computer is because the printer is not compatible with Mac OS X 10.6.8.

    Because this printer is new, it is only compatible with Mac OS X 10.7, Mac OS X 10.8, Mac OS X 10.9 and 10.10 to Mac OS X. Therefore, there is no driver support on your Mac OS X 10.6.8 computer. I'm surprised that you were able to get the printer to print to your Mac in the first place. But this does not explain why your print quality is so bad. You can try the alternate drivers that appear under the screen (+) add under Print & Fax but I can't guide you to a driver who would be appropriate for your printer, because it is not supported on this operating system. It is an inkjet printer if you can try a few other ink jet pilots who appear in the list.

    The solution to this problem would be to install the desire on a supported operating system and all printing problems will be resolved.

    I wish you good luck going forward with this!

    I think it may be interesting to try to update your video driver.
    There is a recent version (18/01/2011) for your Nvidia Geforce

    A way to check the make and model of your video

    Start/run and type or copy / paste:

    Expand "Graphics cards" by left clicking the +.

    Personally, I think it's a good idea to disconnect from the

    If you decide to try it... maybe... I mean just maybe you

  • HP Deskjet 882C prints only in black and pink

    Hello

    I need assistance with my printer.  Before changing the cartridge, my printer started printing in black and pink only.  Then, I changed the new cartridges and it is always the case.  My OS is windows XP Version 2002, service pack 3.  I have had no changes to the operating system at the start of this problem. Short buying new printer cartridges, I thought I would check with you.

    Thank you.

    The issue has nothing to do with the drivers or the operating system, there is a problem with your cartridges.

    You have probably some very old cartridges #23. The cartridges have a life span and may lose colors (usually of first yellow and cyan) if stored for years. If these are original HP cartridges check cartridge warranty date as shown here.

    If the cartridges are inside their two-year warranty call HP to 1-800-HPINVENt or contact your dealer for replacements. If the cartridges are beyond their warranty period, then buy a new cartridge.

    Where to buy new cartridges are looking for the date "install by" on the package. I would look for a package at least six months before the "install by", which would have had a year of remaining warranty.

    When to store unused cartridges for an extended period to keep them in a cool place and keep them trained as they would cling on a store display. This will give you maximum shelf life.

    Kind regards

  • Why is my screen black and blue instead of black Uni Vista?

    This is most obvious on the task bar and the empty spaces. Sarcelles is now blueish.  Everything has a touch of blue and dark. The address bar is not really white but whitish with a blue tint.  even the grey parts like the scroll bar have this bluish tint.  Please note that this isn't a problem of customization, as is a Vista color scheme that changed all of a sudden without input from me.  Restore points has not been reinstated to the color scheme of Vista (also in blue)
